samsung kies is not working on windows 8 build 7989 and keeps crashing, any ideas? im in the process of installing a windows 7 virtual machine right now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
How did you get Windows 8? :O
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
The beta... or probably not even that, probably an alpha, has been leaked.

Anyway to the OP, well you are using a very preliminary version, so bugs are expected...

And I hope you don't do any flashing on that PC, virtual machine or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxyII:
Did you try running KIES in Comparability mode?

Tell Samsung or maybe Microsoft to fix it. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastmh:
Is there a readily available download location for windows 8 alpha?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoobzone:
That build is old and you shouldn't expect many programs to work on it.

Better to wait for a public RC release to use that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00386:
the virtual machine program vmware wasnt even working with windows 8 so i just said the hell with it and re installed windows 7 and i will run windows 8 in a virtual machine :) i will wait for the public beta before i try anything again :)

Well, KIES is not working properly on windows 7 or other OS so what do you expect? :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Universeal:
W8 Is not yet released so it won't work good at all. Try the compability mode if still doesn't work then must be something with w8.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilvyas:
tried, all compatibility mode giving same error

"Kies has stopped working"

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Why are you using an old build? 8250 is out now the consumer preview why don't you download that & then try kies again?

Or set xp compatibility mode on kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenChris:
The problem is .Net Framework 4.5 that won't work with kies
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/consumer-preview

Freely available for download there, buddy.

And it's a "CONSUMER PREVIEW" which means it hit Beta... Beta meaning it's considered the final UI look unless something terribly wrong is flagged. It's quite possible in "Beta mode" that things might not run. It does seem like a Windows 7 with a more polished UI though, so I'm thinking getting KIES to run is a minor issue.

I wonder if slmgr -rearm still works. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hooligan007:
Dude he put up the above question in Aug..any way beta build is what I am using
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manish21nov:
Yup in consumer preview kies not supported . But windows 8 is giving good experience .

Very fast booting time and eye candy looks .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgroove:
Ok first update to windows 8 CP build 8250 with all Net. Framework and updates installed.

Second run Kies in windows 7 compatibility mode and as administrator.

Good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FingerMove:
How come it works on Windows 8 Consumer Preview? I never got it to work anyhow, even with compatibility set to Windows 7...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdj57:
OK, I installed iTunes to setup a friend's iPhone and now Kies crashes. I have tried a system restore but kies crashes immediately after starting, now it is not starting at all. I think I will have to reinstall windows 8 !!

ITunes is the devil incarnate...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FingerMove:
Why don't you just refresh your Windows 8? Just go to metro settings and reset it from there. you just need a DVD with Windows 8 and you can refresh it without reinstalling it as a whole :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdj57:
OK I just did a complete reinstall from scratch, only took 10 minutes from a formatted disk. Yes I could have refreshed the pc with the new feature but I only had a few programs on.....

Anyway, Kies still isn't running, I'm beginning to think it wasn't iTunes, but the last couple of updates to kies. Like, now I can't be 100% that I actually ran kies in win - mind a blur, but one thing's for certain, kies is not working. The drivers install fine and Odin v1.85 works perfect but kies flakes out.

Sorry for the confusion, hopefully Samsung can resolve this...

This fix does NOT work. Click on the Kies icon in Win 8 and nothing happens. Nothing in system logs either.

EDIT: apparently something is wrong with the installation method, since Kies starts with an admin account, not as an ordinary user.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdj57:
Before you install kies, right click on the. exe and set the compatibility mode to windows 7.

After installation kies runs as normal.

[Acer Iconia A500] tu3218:
I love the speed of my iconia tab but I honestly thought swiping through honeycomb would be a little faster. Does anyone use alternate home launchers with their tablet? I don't know if this is possible or not. I love the interface so I'm content but just wanted to get people's opinion on this and any particular launchers they really like.
[Acer Iconia A500] Spikelangelo:
Sure is possible. I loaded go launcher ex just to try it out and it worked fine. I would like to know if anyone is using a launcher specifically for tablets though, if there is even any available.
[Acer Iconia A500] tu3218:
Yeah, that's what I was really interested in. A launcher built for tablets would be something fun to mess around with. I feel like it could be tailored specifically for tablet functions. Possibly something like new windows 8.
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
ADW Launcher EX works, and is updated for honeycomb.honestly, though, its nothing revolutionary, none of the launchers are. I went back to stock. It may not be really fancy but it works, and well.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
Have you checked out spb shell 3d for tablets? I don't think its out yet, but they have a concept video, and it Looks amazing. There's a thread on here with the link, in the general section.
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
The one in the video doesn't exist, and the one that is out now doesn't work on the iconia. And you're not missing much, I messed with it on an X and it was just plain laggy
[Acer Iconia A500] strider_mt2k:
I'm using Launcher Pro with great results.
[Acer Iconia A500] Biologos:
I 've got ADW Launcher on my phone so I tried it on the Iconia. Even though it's a great launcher, for me it didn't cut it. It made the tab look rather like a big phone. It would be nice to have a launcher that preserves the tablet feeling.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I'm sure it's only a matter of time for Tablet specific launchers to roll out.

Personally, however, I feel that they got to step up their game to make something that adds more functionality and is more efficient than what the stock HC launcher provides. I'm not into all the eye-candy - its function over form for me. (pointing my finger at SPB)

It was easy to raise the bar with Eclair on up to Gingerbread as those OS' were built for the phone and those environment were rapidly evolving (and in some cases, differently from manufacturer to manufacturer) - with Honeycomb and the tablet environment third party launcher developers have had the bar raised on them (in terms of usability, efficiency and hardware) so in my opinion, it could be tougher for them to step it up.

Time will tell.

If anything - I would like to see support for skinning the tablet. 1 skinning app, developers build skins - release skins - users downloaded skins - use skinning app to apply skins. Done.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Htimez2:
I am currently running the new Tiamat 2.0.1 Rom and have had no issue except when I try to restore a backup it says error deleting boot image and then s unable to restore, the only thing i can then do is reboot which takes it back to the ROM I am trying to replace with the restore. Also I noticed the bookmarks for my xoom browser wont sync and the bookmarks widget does not work. Is anyone else having similiar problems or know how to fix these.

I fixed the restore problem I had with the new CWM fix that Tiamat posted. I still am having trouble with my bookmarks not syncing. Does anyone know a fix to sync my Google chrome bookmarks with my Xoom browser bookmarks. I went in the options and selected the sync choice but it just cleared my bookmarks and either way the widget does not work. Anyone else bookmarks widget not work that is running Tiamat 2.0 with the 2.0.1 update. P.S. I love Tiamat I am not saying its them I just don't know what the issue is and hope someone has a fix or can help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DEFNUB:
so i sold my g2x and bought a evo3d worst mistake of my life, dont get me wrong the dev's on the 3D forums are very talented but no matter how much you shine you cant polish this turd.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Just got done playing with the 3D today for the first time and your right, that thing is a turd. I'm done with HTC and LG for the next year probably. I'm going strictly Samsung until someone can prove they can optimize their devices as well as Samsung. Whether you like the materials they build their devices with or TW. You can't deny they have optimized Android and TW to run silky smooth. So far, they have done the best job and have innovated enough to be the first company to impliment hardware accelerated web browsing.

I think they all suck at one thing or another, but what I can say is a working g2x is a damn good phone ..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] robavila721:
Couldn't agree more. I have a launch phone. Never suffered reboots. Minimal bleed. Overclocks and undervolts like a champ. My friend got an evo3d and it is a very good phone. 3d although gimmicky is a pretty cool feature that will impress people. The problem that he and I saw with the evo is that it lags too much. The launcher lags. Opening apps is slower. I guess this phone has me spoiled in terms of speed and smoothness

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
I have to semi disagree. I played with the EVO 3d and while its charm wore off about 10mins of playing with it, I did get an EVO 4G and think its a great phone so far. It responds as quick as my g2x but without the annoying reboots, freezes and overheating.

Only downside of it is Sprint sucks here in California. Only a small area has 4G and even then it sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yea, Sense lags as much if not more on the Sensation but the one thing the Sensation does faster than any phone I've used is open apps and interact with them. When using Google Maps there is pretty much no load time at all. All of this is strange considering the hardware is the same and the Evo has more ram. Just another case of poor optimization on HTC's part.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I had a Vibrant and a Nexus S and loved both of them. The Nexus S was the fastest single core Android ever mad and so far the GSII is the fastest dual core ever made. Samsungis getting better every year and so far, nobody is innovating right now like Samsung is. They are constantely pushing the next level with their CPU's, displays and software. The drivers they use in their software are straight up sick. Just look at what they did with Androids native browser. They added hardware acceleration to it before anyone else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tattooed5150:
I would have to agree. My G2X is flawless and I love it. It's a hell of a lot better than the My Touch 4G that I exchanged for it.

Good points ... vibrant was awesome minus the damn GPS...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bl4k0p2:
Ive had the Vibrant and it was the best phone id owned... Until i upgraded to the Sensation. The Sense UI is altogether the best in my experience. The native widgets and apps do everything better than every other variation up to and including TW which i completely despise!!

The worst mistake ive made is getting the G2X during an insurance replacement (dont ask) the Sensation was on backorder and i didnt wanna wait. Plus i had heard about how sickeningly fast the G2X was and @ the time the Sensation's bootloader was locked. Now ive had nothing but issues with this phone. Im having the replacement replaced because of rebooting and signal issues. Everytime i get on the phone with Tmo i ask if theres a way to just send me another Sensation lol. Im this close | | to going to a store and begging!

If this replacement doesnt work out ... ACTION

Apparently, the E3D and Sensation are just speed bumps. The Vigor is supposed to be released on VZW in Q3 and I'm guessing there will be an international version. 1.5mhz SoC, new GPU, and 720p display. So much for the Sensation's flagship status.
